Symptoms are the fire alarm of your system, ignoring the symptoms leads to a real fire later.
When things go haywire...
We all have moments where we feel like we're losing control. It's almost as if we're all walking around with a ticking time bomb inside of us, waiting to explode at any moment. We can't help ourselves. It's like having this inner demon that takes over whenever we feel vulnerable or hurt. Maybe we lash out at someone we care about, or we become irrational and unpredictable. These moments are often referred to as acting "crazy," but the truth is that they are usually symptoms of something much deeper going on within us.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to a real fire later on. They are warning signs that something is not right and needs to be addressed. But what happens when we ignore these symptoms? Well, it's like ignoring a fire alarm - eventually, a real fire will start. By ignoring our symptoms, we're putting ourselves at risk for more serious problems down the line.
When we act "crazy," it's usually because we're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or triggered by something that's happened in our lives. Are you feeling physical or emotional discomfort? Is there something in your life that is causing you stress or anxiety? These feelings can be difficult to manage, and sometimes they spill out in ways that we don't intend. The problem is that if we don't take the time to address these underlying issues, the symptoms will continue to appear. We might apologize for our behaviour and promise that it won't happen again, but if we don't address the root cause of our behaviour, it's likely that it will.
Acknowledging our symptoms and taking steps to address them is the key to preventing future episodes of acting "crazy." This might mean seeking professional help, talking to a trusted friend or family member, or simply taking time for self-care and reflection.
It's also important to communicate with those around us about our struggles. If we apologize for our behaviour but don't explain what caused it, the people we care about might feel confused and hurt. By being honest about our feelings and working to address them, we can strengthen our relationships and prevent future conflicts.
By acknowledging our feelings, seeking help when needed, and communicating openly with those around us, we can prevent future episodes and build stronger relationships with the people we care about. Remember, symptoms are the fire alarm of your system - don't ignore them.
